Governor Lamont has activated Connecticut’s Severe Cold Weather Protocol beginning Sunday night 1/19/2025

As you know, we are bracing for an extreme weather event, with brutal cold. Please bring your dogs inside. Connecticut law prohibits tethering dogs outside during extreme weather. Dogs of all breeds are susceptible to frostbite, especially on the nose and footpads. If you see a dog being tethered outside, please have your local ACO or police take immediate action: Tell them that per Connecticut General Statutes 22-350a, dogs cannot be tethered outside during extreme weather for a duration longer than 15 minutes.

It's also too cold for cats and for rabbits in outdoor hutches. (In nature, rabbits are prolific burrowers--they burrow beneath the frostline to avoid extreme temperatures. In hutches, they have no such protection, and can die from extreme weather.) So, bring them in, too!

Remember: If it's too cold for you, it's too cold for your pets!

We received so many inquiries for Molly. She has a meet and greet tomorrow with her potential new family. Thank you for everybody that showed interest!

Impound #3

Little Molly came into animal control last week after being found roaming. She has not been claimed. Molly was covered with matted fur so we sent her off to our groomer today!

If you are interested in giving this sweet girl a furever home please reach out to us for an application.
